Watch out for
The specifications are exceptionally detailed and prescriptive — read every line before pricing, as several set exact dimensions, weights and materials that will govern acceptance.
Kit lines are priced per kit, not per garment: the soccer kits are 18 pieces each, dart uniforms 10 each and running kits 3 per person. Read the multiplier.
Several specifications are truncated mid-sentence in the notice, including the men's soccer kit shin guards, the running kit hydration pack and the treadmill speed range.
The volleyball net line reads '9.5 to 1.0 meters wide', which cannot be right — confirm from the document.
The council logo is required on most garment lines but no artwork is referenced.
This spans field equipment, indoor games, gym equipment and apparel; few suppliers cover all of it.
